Friday 7th July - Chalon-en-Champagne

I apologise for the lateness of the blog - the hot weather made our packing very slow work - everything was an effort!  We decided to work through the day and treat ourselves to a meal out in the evening.
We had a very good meal in a restaurant just off the main square, so we thought we would try that again.  There was a very different atmosphere to our previous visit as we ate inside the restaurant last time.  It was such a warm evening this time that the terrace was almost full and we were lucky to get a table, however the meal was not as good as we remember sadly!
On Saturday we spent the time with more cleaning and packing then on Sunday Skip left to catch his 8 a.m. train, not to be back until around 4.30 p.m.  Dinner was consumed on board both evenings.

The first leg of our cruise has been excellent, with lovely villages and the beautiful scenery of the champagne vineyards to enjoy......not to mention the fabulous summer weather.  Just hope it hasn’t peaked too soon and that we can continue in the same manner in August and September.
So, dear readers, will say ‘au revoir’ for now - we will re-convene somewhaere around the middle of August.
Just for the record we cruised 786km and worked 186 locks.
